- Molly Heffernan, Director of Special Events, YMCA of Greater New York

- Susanne Kuligowski, Chief Operating Officer, The Junior League of the City of New York

"From start to finish, our partnership with 501 gets a strong thumbs-up reviews. The move to embrace this phone-based-bidding technology turned out to be a blessing on every front, we increased our take home for the auction and we received considerable praise from attendees. Going this route allowed us to eliminate lines at what used to be clipboard-based bidding tables, greatly extend the actual time for bidding, immediately review extremely useful reports, and have a much more swift checkout experience. Moreover, the 501 team's customer-service skills were off-the-charts outstanding."

Our flat fee structure rewards your hard work.

We believe that you and your cause should be the benefactors of your development team's hard work. Our contract rates are always set prior to your event and we never take a cut of your hard earned funds. After all, it's your fundraiser!
